What types of bins can this tipper handle?

This specific unit is designed for 1100-litre wheelie bins. However, many tippers in this category can be adapted or specified for various standard bin sizes, including 240L, 660L, and bespoke containers.

Is this equipment suitable for outdoor use?

While constructed from stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance, the suitability for continuous outdoor use depends on the specific IP rating of electrical components and the overall design. Buyers should confirm this with the seller.

What are the typical maintenance requirements?

Maintenance typically involves routine checks of hydraulic fluid levels, hose integrity, electrical connections, and the condition of moving parts. Lubrication of pivot points and inspection of safety interlocks are also standard.

Can the discharge height be adjusted?

For this class of equipment, the discharge height is usually fixed once manufactured. However, some models may offer limited adjustability or can be custom-built to a specific height. Buyers should confirm with the seller for this unit.

What safety features are standard on these units?

Common safety features include full guarding with interlocked access doors, hydraulic safety check valves to prevent uncontrolled descent, and emergency stop buttons. Compliance with relevant machinery safety standards like BS EN 14120:2015 is expected.

BTH/500/1500/B/G Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper

The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was designed to lift and tip a 1100 Litre Wheelie Bin Container to discharge at a height of 1500mm. The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a TIG welded construction throughout and was bolted to the floor. The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was powered via a hydraulic powerpack and tipped the 1100 Litre Wheelie Bin by the extension of a pair of mild steel hydraulic cylinders to an angle of 30 degrees past the horizontal. The hydraulic cylinders were fitted with a safety check valve such that even in the unlikely event of a hydraulic hose failure, the raised bin will not fall to the floor.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet which encloses the Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper to a height of 2200mm on two sides, 800mm on the tipping side with a hinged guard door on the fourth side. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the guard door can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised.

Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper Electrical Control

The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the main frame at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility. It may be beneficial to fit the push buttons in the side panel of the main control panel for ease of operator access.

Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. Providing that the area around the discharge position is fully guarded, an automatic tip cycle could be used. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.

Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper Stainless Steel Plinth

The Compactor Wheelie Bin Tipper was mounted on a stainless steel plinth 1200mm high complete with durbar flooring. The plinth straddled the Compactor Hydraulic Powerpack allowing the operator to load directly into the Compactor from the loading bay.
